We have appointed Claire Clarke, David Thomas and Sue Wood as our Church Safeguarding Officers (CSO), and David Pearmain (Children), Jordan Ferrier (Children) and Chris Kettel (Youth) as our Children’s Champions. Myra Fulford and Henny Pearmain are our Adults at Risk Champions.
Copies of ‘Safeguarding in the Diocese of London’ and any parish guidelines and procedures are held at the Church Offices, St Paul's Church, Bath Road, TW3 3DA.
The PCC shall review this policy annually. The next review will take place at the first PCC meeting following the APCM in April 2022.
Safeguarding Policy Guidance
At St Paul’s and the Good Shepherd we are committed to the safeguarding of the children, young people and adults at risk. We aim to create an environment which is safe for all to experience and encounter Christ. We are supported by Diocese of London and follow their guidelines. The safe recruiting process is followed for all volunteers who work with children, young adults and adults. This may require an application to the Disclosure and Barring service or an interview and references being taken up, prior to a volunteer joining the relevant teams. Concerns about children, young people and adults at risk will be responded to according to our procedures, by either our Church Safeguarding Officers, Clergy Team and may liaise with the Diocesan Safeguarding Team.
